Tired of the comparisons 






what exactly does rockstar need to innovate? they already innovated, these other studios playing catch up.rockstar trash to me tbh
gtav is practically the same as liberty city with 3 playable characters instead of one.
red dead redemption 2 is practically the same story as part 1 and same gameplay. I can't even think of what they added off the top of my head.
and to top it off they stopped supporting dlc for their single player campaigns so unless you want to go online and get blasted by rockets every 5 seconds by 12 year olds your shyt out of luck for new content for the one game they make per generation. It's clear people clamoring for a new GTA don't care about innovation at all.
GTA V isn't holding up. GTA online is. GTA V is nothing more than a mayhem sim outside the main story, and one can argue that Saints Row is a much better mayhem sim. Watchdogs has a more immersive world. I agree with the other poster that GTA peaked with San Andreas. RDR 2 is a chore to play, but the story is excellent and is by far the best open world Rockstar has made. I'll take Bethesda over Rockstar anyday when it comes to open worlds.what exactly does rockstar need to innovate? they already innovated, these other studios playing catch up.
i'm annoyed with a lot of their business/game development practices as far as releasing content that you've outlined tho, but GTA V still holding up 7 years later is quite an accomplishment.
i don't think their problem is innovation, i think they've proven that they can make the best open world experiences, but there are some mechanics that suck fun out of the games that need tweaking. especially with RDR2


Anyone who believed they were is a damn clown.


I once put them on that level, I personally believed the Witcher 3 was flawless. And after the Witcher 3 and them expanding with a bigger budget I thought it could only get better and they could only excel. Perhaps the Witcher 3 was their ceiling and it’s nothing but down from now on.
